A burglar alarm triggered at around 3:30am led police officers to K&K Soul Food in northwest Atlanta. The place had been temporarily closed because of a fire, but officers arrived to find tyre tracks and the impressions of footsteps leading away from the scene, police spokesman Officer John Chafee said.
Police followed the tracks to a house about a mile away. They entered the home to find a gas generator and an air compressor, and Evans asleep on the sofa. The tread on the wheels of the generator matched the tyre tracks they’d followed to the house, and soles of Evans’ shoes were identical with the footprints, Chafee said.
And his shoes were still wet, police said. When Evans told officers he’d brought the machines from his work site, they checked and found no evidence supporting his claim. Evans was arrested. He remains in the Fulton County Jail awaiting a hearing to set his bond.

Wow. You know, I had a plumber do this with a spare key I had given him. I was like, "Why do the only footsteps here go to that random yard rock?" "Oh, because that dumbass put a key under it and left a super obvious trail from the door to it." He called me a week later to let me know where it was... /eyeroll. Real bright bulb. It was a vacant property and the trail was super visable from the street. I'm really glad I went by that day.
Where do you get one of those gas generators ?
I would like to have one, could make my own gas for the stove and to heat the house this coming winter.
